Darin Mastroianni MLB debut tonight

braden · Aug 24, 2011

Not much of a prospect but I know he's got a couple of big fans on this board.

The Maestro is playing CF and batting 9th for the Jays tonight. It took a weird series of events to get him on the roster: a trade involving two 25-man guys, the acquired player not having his passport with him and thus delaying his arrival, an injury to the starting CF (Rasmus), an injury to the next logical replacement (Snider), and the other CF on the team injured (Rajai Davis).

So with that, Mastroianni and his blazing speed will get at least a cup of coffee. Now watch, he'll go 4-for-4 with 3 SB and never see the minors again.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

The third former Mountaineer to make the Major Leagues!

Darin was an infielder as well.

That kid can fly. Good Center fielder as well.

Be nice if I had the Bowman autos in hand. Been pending for awhile.

I bid $111.11 on the 2011 Bowman Superfractor the first time it was up for auction. I lost.

The seller relisted a few weeks later, I forgot to bid and it sold for ~$45.

Looks like Mastroianni got #1 which he had in spring training.

Hope he does well. I got to get him to sign a card in Ft. Wayne.

Darin Mastroianni called up to the Twins. Danny Valencia sent to AAA.

When I went to see him play in Pawtucket on Monday he was playing Second Base.

Wish my orange ref auto would get made and sent to me already!

My brother played w/ him in college. He was always ~"amazed"~ about how he went from terrible to fast and w/ power overnight. Just saying...

Mastroianni hails from the University of Southern Indiana. Go Eagles!

14 HR is 2159 MiLB AB is hardly powerful.

In his two seasons in on the Vermont Mountaineers (Summer league, 2004/2005, 70 games) he stole 28 bases and hit 0 HR.

He had ripped arms back then, and showed them off. :lol:.

I never said homeruns. I said power. A blooper or avg hitter, to a guy with gap power is an increase in power.

A college weight program can do things like that

So can "other things". I'm not saying, I'm just saying. I'm fully aware of what a college weight program can do.
